PRODUCT SUMMARY
The world around us is shaped by geometry! In Geometry, students are encouraged to explore solids and shapes around them and recognize attributes, including faces, vertices, edges and corners. Kids compare shapes like rectangles, squares, triangles and circles with solids like prisms, cubes, pyramids and spheres. The concepts of symmetry, angles, congruent shapes, perimeter and area are illustrated using manipulatives and real-life examples. Geometry helps math take shape! Part of the multivolume Math for Children DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
